Abstract
The article presents the result of using GIS for collecting, processing and storing distributed data on specially protected natural areas (SPNA) in the Syrian Arab Republic. The emergence of GIS, using a huge amount of data, has greatly simplified the process of studying protected areas, assessing their spatial size and geographical location, identifying their characteristics and processes of their development and structuring. With the advent of GIS, monitoring of such objects has become more accurate and flexible. This article describes the experience of using the freeware GIS for systematization of information about the protected areas of Syria. The procedure for creating a digital map of the protected areas of Syria is outlined, the main elements of its thematic content are described. The created digital map is an informational basis for the design and development of the monitoring system for the SPNA in Syria.
